Polaris Airlines:
A Polaris Trimotor.
What became Ceniana started out in 1926, when Polaris Airways was founded by a Turkish entrepreneur and pilot by the name of Taksim Berliz al-Ahmedsultani. Naming his airline after the star that had guided explorers and navigators for centuries, he started out on the Istanbul-Ankara route with one of the first Ford Trimotors ever produced. At that time, Turkey had become independent from the Ottoman Empire and was looking to modernize in every way possible. The air service to the town of Ankara, where al-Ahmedsultani had been born, helped the government to decide to make Ankara the capital of Turkey. With this move, traffic increased exponentially, and he was forced to add new planes to his service. He soon added an Istanbul-Izmir and an Ankara-Izmir route. By 1928, Polaris was profitable and the largest airline in Turkey. It continued expanding in Turkish routes until 1933, when an Islamist revolution took over Turkey. He thought his troubles were just beginning as the government banned domestic air travel, and he was right. Extremists hijacked flight 123 to Athens. Unfortunately, everyone on board was killed. This would have spelled the end for smaller airlines, but al-Ahmedsultani persevered this disaster. He was able to begin services again when the military took over operations of the government, but soon faced domestic and international competition from the state owned Turkiye. Price wars between the two gutted his profits, but overall traffic picked up. He decided to carve a niche for himself in international traffic. After this move, his profits began to expand again as Turkiye could not keep up with his acquisition of newer and newer planes. Cenian explorers reached Turkey and saw Istanbul and the surrounding cities as a great place to set down operations and build a new starport in 2011. They annexed the territory in 2012 and al-Ahmedsultani saw an opportunity to expand to other nations from the new Kendrick Ross Memorial Starport.He became one of the first customers of the Boeing 707 when it came out in 1958, and Polaris held a stranglehold on the Turkish international market until 1966, when newer competitors brought out lower fares. He retaliated with purchase of several Boeing 747s, trumpeting a new age in aerial transportation. Revenue and passengers swelled with these new acquisitions. He continued to offer new services, including a frequent flier program in 1968, until his retirement in 1969. His son, Legrim Bergiz, continued the family business, managing to outcompete most other Turkish airlines until his retirement in 2000, and al-Ahmedsultan's granddaughter, Leyla Taksim, took over operations.

North Star Airways:
Leyla was a shrewd fellow. She realized that there would be more profits if the airline concentrated on all NS nations, rather than just nations around her. To maximize the appeal of the airline, she renamed it North Star Airways. It became a success, reaching dozens of destinations, and making profits in the crowded airline market. When Cenian explorers annexed the Bosporus in 2011 and began building a starport, she saw opportunity in the face of this new threat. She made Cenians a deal: in return for you giving me several terminals in the starport, I will let you have a percentage of the profits. They agreed, and Leyla now had a modern, clean home base, rather than the decades-old Ataturk International Airport. GCLI, the government owned investing corporation, purchased part of North Star with the profits and installed Olmas Epia as the CEO. Under Epia, it kept on expanding.
Ceniana:
Epia had a dilemma. Ceni didn't have a flag carrier to represent it in the international market, and other flag carriers were doing great. He had a solution: rebrand North Star as Ceniana, with a new slogan: Your connection to the world. Ceniana is now opening its doors to airports and customers.Policies
